President’s Blurb 2014-2015Matt to update The 2014-2015 period has seen stabilisation after many years of change.The EPOLA was approved in late 2014 and the majority of contaminated land provisions to be enacted on September 30, 2015.Engagement with EHP has improved. As promised at last years AGM, this will be my last year as President. As luck would have it, ACLCA Qld has the ability for me to be able to keep involved in the industry through Associate Membership. I personally feel honoured and privileged to have been involved with the ACLCA executive over the past 3 years and have felt supported by the executive committee and think we have moved forward as an industry body through the toughest of times.

Matthew Pomeroy 2012-2015 ACLCA (Qld) President

ACLCA National • Preliminary discussions regarding national mentoring

program – model pending.• National Constitution- discussions• Talk of dissolving the States to simplify the process (no support at

present)• Most likely solution will be a memorandum of understanding

(MoU)• Not much clarity on the purpose of National other than to

simplify connectivity across the Associations. Unsure of what a constitution will bring and the purpose / end game.

• Agreement of EO Qld role managing National BAS, State’s invoicing and recouping fees from other Associations.

Auditor Sub-Committee

The role of the Auditor Subcommittee had been to agree on industry practice on certain contaminated land matters in order to provide consistency on complex matters. Additionally, the committee was noted as a forum for interaction with EHP on technical and administrative matters.

With the widening of the Auditor pool, the number of Qld ACLCA Members who are Auditors has reduced and the role of the Auditor Sub is now to:

• Host Auditor meetings
